My birthday is in March...I was born in 1949. Lilly's birthday is also in March, and she was born in 2009. Her mother, Emily, also has a March birthday -- and she was born in 1979.
So, that means we are exactly 30 years apart....
AND, that also means that this year -- 2019 -- we are all having a special "Decades" birthday.
I will be 70. Emily will be 40. And Lilly will be celebrating her first double digit birthday. 10.
WOW..!!
WHAT CAN WE DO to celebrate our big "Decades Birthday"??
I wanted to make it something special...
The movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" had just come out. I knew Emily LOVED Queen music -- which is probably why Lilly also knows the words to many of their songs. Then, as Ritaluck would have things happen -- I saw that a QUEEN Tribute band was giving a one-night-only concert at our big venue, The Mark, on Sunday night, March 24.
PERFECT...!!
I purchased the tickets in advance...and then, I debated how to handle my "Decades Celebration". Of course, I could set up the evening as a total surprise for both Emily and Lilly.
But, sometimes -- the ANTICIPATION is as much fun as the event. So I decided to bring Lilly in on our "Decades Birthday Event". Also, before we go to the concert, I thought Lilly should learn a little more about who Freddie Mercury was...
Thanks to my friend Valerie -- who gives me her People magazines when she's done with them -- I had the PERFECT article for Lilly to read
 |
| It was in a February 2019 issue -- and there were lots of great pictures. Lilly read the story, and had a few questions. |
 |
| Because of the rating, I told Lilly I might have to FF through some portions of the movie...and she was fine with that... |
 |
| On the night of the concert...we are getting dressed... |
 |
| This was her first concert at a HUGE VENUE...5000 seats. |
 |
| And this tribute band did NOT disappoint. They did ALL the fabulous QUEEN songs... |
 |
| It was, truly, a ONCE IN A LIFETIME Girl's Night OUT...!! |
